As Brian posted a few days ago (together with multiple other people :) Orcas Beta1 is available here. From the Version Control perspective it contains 90% of functionality which we want provide in Orcas (some more goodies will come in the Beta2). There are 4 new features - get latest on checkout, destroy (only command line), folderdiff (improved tfpt treediff) and annotate (improved powertool annotate). We also improved scalalbility and performance of the VC operations. Enjoy testing !!!
